Welcome

Welcome to the Regent blog network and to my blog in particular. Right now I must say most in the Undergrad are pretty excited. Spring break is coming up soon and many people will be heading back home for a short visit. Then there are people like myself who are local and will just be enjoying the short break from school. Either way, Spring break is welcomed.


For myself personally, I don’t think I initially envisioned myself coming to Regent. Being a local, I believe I was predisposed to try to go away for school, like most do. Because of this, when a friend of mine told me Regent was about to move to a full two year college nearly two years ago, I almost instantly pushed it off. Despite that, I still decided I would at least visit the admissions office. Back then the office where not as prominently situated, and not very impressive, yet something hit me when I walked into it. I knew almost instantly that Regent was where I was supposed to be. Ever since then God has been preparing my route in amazing ways. Regent still is an academic institution and as such experiences its problems, yet because I know beyond a doubt that I am meant to be here, it all seems insignificant in comparison to goal I am working towards. So whether you are looking at coming to Regent or are already here, know that God is here and working in awesome ways on behalf of his institution. I can hardly wait to see what God has down the road for Regent.

It's good to have you here at Regent, Paul. In contrast to your story, I assumed to attend a college local to where I was (Ohio), rather than being called here to Regent. Really, Virginia was never on the radar!

Spring break will be a welcome time; however, the studying does not stop. I have found that getting ahead at or prior to the beginning of the semester allows me to ease up part way through, and it also provides a space in which life can happen... like becoming ill, having computer/internet issues, etc.

I look forward to your future blog posts...

Thanks, Paul, for your story. And I understand you hope to be at Regent for a few more years, for some adventures in academia.

Then you can jump into the adventures beyond.

I think you are game for challenges.
